Why is there never been the ability to change the native resolution in an android rom? What hindrance to we android users have over a windows user who can change his resolution in the control panel?

You can with lcd density changer.
Use pro version to save the settings on your cellphone.

You can also change the LCD density manually by editing your build.prop file. You must be rooted for this though.

Is there an easy way to change the stock font size to a smaller one?
I am not talking about changing LCD density, I don't want all the apps and widgets messed up.

Try the font size option in Spare Parts basic settings

Or try font changer from the market and change your font to alex. I hate these massive fonts too.

Spare parts just works on OG Droid and within app itself. But thanks for idea.
And I would like to know if or more where it sets it in the code. I changed a .ttf on PC swapped it in system fonts folder and created a custom rom and it still came in the same size so must be code setting it to default size.

Or you can change your screen density. But everything goes smaller. Depends on how much you put it.
Screen density normal is 240
Smallest is 190 (still readable)
Hi everyone!
Tell me me please the default lcd density value
Need to optimize my app for the most popular tablets
160

I just got this halo waypoint app and I really like it. However, my pixel density is set at 200 rather than the default 240. Because of this, my halo waypoint app when opened, appears much smaller than my screen. Is there a easy way to mod the apk to make it think my pixel density is 240, similar to the market fix that provides a modded google play apk from LCD density modder pro?
Thanks

i dont have this issue
Well that doesn't help me, what pixel density are you using?

I have an amaze and the app is full screen

If you know how to edit the build prob due that, and put 240 instead of 200 it will trick the app
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Is it fairly easy to edit the build prop, only with the intent to trick the app? When I have my pixel density at 240, it works fine, but the default density sucks
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
There is a tool on the market that will change it for you. Just search density changer or something
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Let me reiterate, I completely understand how to change my LCD density and it works great. But, my halo waypoint app when opened doesn't fill the entire screen. I am looking for a way to trick the app into thinking by pixel density is 240 so it is full screen.

I used paranoid android for a while and really loved it. But I started to miss a lot of the features that came stock with the galaxy s3.
So I was wondering if there was some way to set the dpi for apps individually (like in paranoid android) whilst still maintaining a stock rom.
I know how to set dpi overall (tablet mode), but I'd love to have a hybridised stock rom.
How does an app actually know what dpi to render as, does it draw it from the build.prop?
Download Rom toolbox and change to 160 dpi, go to performance- >bild.prop tweaks and change from there lcd density to 160 from the app
You will need root permission for it

He's asking to change the dpi per application. Not the entire display dpi. That's only possible in paranoid android.

Is there a way to intercept the call to build.prop and send back a '"false" dpi to render an app in a specific format, or would you have to have a custom rom for that? Would that be beyond the scope of an app?
Hey guys, I like to Luzon my DPI to 280 from 320 to make the system show smaller fonts (and to spoof SPB Launcher to allow 5x5 grid instead of 4x4). The app I use, (LCD Resolution) for some reason won't retain my settings are after a reboot.
I've been out of the android game for the last year, so I'm playing catch-up

Have you messed around with the xposed framework?
That is what I use to change the DPI on select apps.

I think he wants the entire system changed isn't xposed just app by app? I personally just change it in my build.prop save and reboot. However pimp my ROM let's you do it if you prefer

I set my system LCD density, then used xposed to set apps that need 320 dpi.
